Instrument Definition: Roland System 1(M)

The alternative waveshapes that were added in a later firmware are somewhat hard to get to, so I’ve pre-assigned them to knobs, and added some more oscillator related CCs while I was at it, just to have them in one place. Preset bank selection is kind of unintuitive as well, so I’ve added a list of all 64 preset slots. Feel free to thin them out a little if load times annoy you.

VERSION 1 # Currently, this should only be 1.

TRACKNAME SYSTEM-1
TYPE POLY

# Can be A, B, C, D, USBD, USBH, CVGx (x between 1&4), CVx, Gx, or NULL
OUTPORT A

# Can be x (between 1-16), or NULL -- this is ignored if output port is not MIDI
OUTCHAN 8

# Can be NONE, ALLACTIVE, A, B, USBH, USBD, CVG, or NULL
INPORT ALLACTIVE

# Can be x (between 1-16), ALL, or NULL. This definition will be ignored if INPORT is NONE, ALLACTIVE or CVG
INCHAN NULL

#### For CC: Value must be a valid number between 0 and 119
#### For PB and AT, any text after the TYPE will be ignored
#### For CV, value must be between 1 and 4
#### For NRPN, value must be MSB:LSB:DEPTH, with both lsb & msb bebtween 0 and 127, and DEPTH being either 7 or 14

#### For CC: DEFAULT_VALUE must be a valid number between 0 and 127
#### For PB: DEFAULT_VALUE must be a valid number between 0 and 16383
#### For NRPN: DEFAULT_VALUE must be a valid number, either between 0 and 127 (for 7 bit NRPNs) or between 0 and 16383 (for 14bit NRPNs)
#### For CV: DEFAULT_VALUE must be either a valid number between 0 and 65535, or a voltage between -5V and 5V, e.g. "-4.25V" or "1.7V"
#### Please note default value will be ignored for PB and AT messages.

Can’t edit my original post anymore. Here are two additional CCs I’ve found in the meantime.
